via email or text (SMS) message when the vehicle’s factory-installed security
alarm system has been set-off. There are a number of reasons why your alarm may
have been triggered, one of which could be that your vehicle was stolen. If so,
please see the details of the Stolen Vehicle Assistance service below. When you
register, Security Alarm Notification is automatically set to send you an email at
the mail address you provide should the alarm go off. You may also opt to have a
text message sent to your device.
6. Stolen Vehicle Assistance — If your vehicle is stolen, contact local law enforce-
ment immediately to file a stolen vehicle report. Once this report has been filed,
Uconnect care can help locate your vehicle. The Uconnect Care agent will ask for
the stolen vehicle report number issued by local law enforcement. As long as your
vehicle has an operable 1X (voice/data) or 3G (data) network connection, the
Uconnect Care Agent may be able to locate the stolen vehicle and work with law
enforcement to help recover it. Your vehicle must have an operable 1X (voice/
data) or 3G (data) network connection and must be registered with Uconnect
Access with an active subscription that includes the applicable feature.
7. WiFi Hotspot — WiFi Hotspot is an in-vehicle feature that connects your device to
an operable 1X (voice/data) or 3G (data) network using Uconnect Access and is
ready to go where ever you are. Once your vehicle is registered for Uconnect
Access, you can purchase a Wifi Hotspot subscription at the Uconnect Store.
After you've made your purchase, turn on your signal and connect your passengers
devices. It's never been easier to bring your home or office with you.
WARNING!
NEVER use the WiFi Hotspot when you are driving the vehicle. As the driver, you
should only use the WiFi Hotspot when the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
Failure to do so may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.

Your vehicle must have a working electrical system for any of the in vehicle Uconnect
features to operate.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2.
Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink button you want to program while you push and hold the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink has received the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the
indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage
door (or device) should activate when the HomeLink button is pushed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink
To operate, push and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now
occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security
system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming theuniversal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming
the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled
and can cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.

CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Load Floor
The cargo load floor system has a load capacity of 400 lbs (181 kg).
To provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be folded flat. This allows for
extended cargo space and still maintains some rear seating room. Refer to “Rear
Seats” in “Getting Started” for further information.
Cargo Extension Panels
Cargo extension panels can be folded and unfolded. When the rear seats are moved
to the more forward positions and the rear seat backs are folded down, the extension
panels can be unfolded manually by hand (2 of them). The extension panels can be
used to extend the load floor to the rear seats and/or hide the gap between the load
floor and rear seats, or to assist in loading large items into the cargo area.
Cargo Tie-Down Hooks And Loops
The tie-downs located on the cargo area floor should be used to secure loads safely
when the vehicle is moving.
Cargo tie-down loops are located on the trim panels.
WARNING!
• Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a suddenstop or accident, a tie-down could pull loose and allow the child seat to come
loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child
seat tethers.
• To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo and passengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal injury,
follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
• Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits described on the label attachedto the left door or left door center pillar.
• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as
far forward as possible.
•
Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or
improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to movingtraffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool for changing tires only. The jack
should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should
be jacked on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
Jack Location/Spare Tire Stowage
The jack, wheel chocks and spare tire are stowed under the load floor behind the rear
seat.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Lift the access cover using the load floor handle.
3. Remove the hook from the stowed position on the back side of the load floor and place the hook over the top body in white flange and weather seal. This will hold
the load floor up while obtaining the jack and spare tire.
4. Remove the fastener securing the jack and spare tire.
5. Remove the chocks.
6. Remove the scissors jack and wheel bolt wrench from the spare wheel as an assembly. Turn the jack screw to the left to loosen the wheel bolt wrench, and
remove the wrench from the jack assembly.
NOTE:
The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack with two attachment points. When
the jack is partially expanded, the tension between the two attachment points holds
the jack handle in place.
7. Remove the spare tire.
